I don't want to turn this into a bash Sky and Space but..
I've just finished reading "The Dawn of the Space age" article by Dave Reneke. Having been disappointed how most other Astronomy media have covered this I was not expecting much. But Dave top the lot, as in the worst. Other then Sputnik the Russians were barley mentioned even in the paragraph titled A list of firsts. Let alone Australia's or any other's efforts.
